Just Another Day in Our Homeschool

Saturday is a "school day" for us (although the more I learn about homeschooling, the more I realize that learning is a lifestyle and not simply something that is fit into the schedule during certain hours of certain days). That is a whole other topic though...

Here are some snapshots from school today:

~ We've been reading the book Lentil by Robert McCloskey this week; it's one of the books from the Five in a Row plan (which I'm a huge fan of, by the way). If any of you have read that book, you might remember that the boy Lentil learns to play the harmonica; and he prefers practicing in the bathtub because "the tone is improved one hundred percent." So, of course, we had to try it out!
~ Here David gets a turn with the harmonica, and Josiah pipes along on the kazoo. You can't see it well in this small of a picture, but David's eyes look so soulful in this shot. My little 2 year-old playing the blues! :)
~ At one of the bookstores in our town, there was a special storytime with Curious George today; and that made an enjoyable (free!) field trip for us. At home this morning, we read the two Curious George books that we have, and then we also read Katy No-Pocket because, although it was written by someone else, it was illustrated by H.A. Rey, so the style and color of the pictures is very similar to Curious George. (Josiah thought it was neat that "H.A. Rey" rhymes!)
